WAR OF RACES.
Negroes Take Possession of a Town

ANNeSAOSS AonC oS5OSSAOh VI AO""'
DECATUR, GA, Aug. ga crowd of
negroes from Atlanta came here yester-
day to hold celebration. They drank
heavily and several of them were put
up in the guard house. This incensed
the others, and by4 o'clock they had
absolute possession of the town.
Marshal Heard rallied few brave
men and approaching one of the most
turbulent groups, demanded that they
be quiet, threatening wholesale arrest
if they persisted in their riotous actions.
The demand was treated derisively,
whereupon the officers seized two of
the disturbers and started to the guard
house. Rocks began flying promiscu-
ously, pistol shots fired and O general
riot followed.
Citizens ran to the rescue of the Off
GERS, but before quiet was restored
Marshal Heard was shot dead. Tom
Stevens of the marshal's posse was
mortally wounded, and one negro was
also killed. Late last night large
force of armed men arrived from At
lanta, and the rioters were suppressed

PROTECTING THE CATTLE.
The Stock Commission Means Busi-
s.. ness.

The Stock Commission Means Busi-
,-4q.. ness.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 2S.-The State Live
Stock Commission has issued the fol-
lowing: All railway companies doing
business in this State, transporting cat
tie from Texas to the Gulf states from
the first of April to the first of Septem-
ber, are prohibited from unloading
such cattle in this State unless they
provide separate yards for the same,
which yards are not to be used for the
accommodation of other yards until
they have been thoroughly cleared and
disinfected, and if any such Texas or
Gulf states cattle shall be brought into
the State between the period above
specified, that have been wintered south
Of the States of Missouri and Kansas,
otherwise than in transit through the
State, they will be subject to quaran-
tine at the expense of the owner and q
fine of $500. ..
To prevent the spread of Texas or
splenic fever all railway cars in which
such cattle may have been carried
must be thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected before being used for the trans
portation of other cattle. The above
regulation applies to Texas cattle. 1t
must be remembered that the quaran-
tine against districts affected with
pleuro pneumonia is absolute. The
Commission regards it its imperative
duty to see that any person violating
the law and imperiling the safety of
the cattle of Ohio shall be promptly
prosecuted.
The Commission appeals to cattle
dealers and transportion companies to
use due diligence to ascertain that the
stock which they bring into the State
is not from the affected localities
Moreover they direct attention to the
fact that Texas cattle are frequently
brought into Kansas and Missouri and
after being kept there for few weeks
are shipped to Ohio.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The Presi-
dent'sattention was called, Wednesday,
to the matter lately appearing in the
New York World, to the effect that he
was not properly supporting the COM
missions appointed to examine,the af-
fairs of the Pacific railroads, and giving
as proof of the charge, what was al
legged to be the contents of the Presi-
dents answer to Chairman Pattison's
dispatch proposing assistant counsel i'm
the proceedings against Leland Stan
ford. The President said: II have no
time to read or reply to the misrepre-
sentation of opposition newspapers,
and am not at all afraid that they will
succeed in deceiving the people in re-
gard to the policy ofthe administration,
but if there is man or child who
would feel easier after reading the dis
patch which really did send to Gov.
Pattison, they shall have it.n The fol-
lowing is the text of the dispatch: Up

ment counsel should be employed, /
authorize and approve such employ
ment.-Grover Cleveland.

How to Preserve Corn.

An Indian missionary tells how to
preserve corn on the cobs. When your
corn is in good eating condition, pluck
the ears and remove all the husks but
the last layer next the corn, being care
full not to expose any of the grains
Then tie a string tightly around the
end where the silk is; then take one
half gallon of clean hickory ashes, put
it in three or four gallons of water in a
deep vessel, and, while boiling, dip the
corn into it slowly eight or ten times,
holding by the string you have tied
around it. Hang away in q dark, dry
place. When you want roasting ears
you will have them as fresh as when
they came from the stalk. The Indians
preserve hundreds of bushels in this
way without a single failure.

She's Quiet, but Gets There just the
E. Same.

The quiet girl never wears high col
lars on the street; you do not see her
daunting in brilliant plaids when they
happen to be the style; when high hats
are "in" she does not pile hers so high
that 1t sweeps the cob-webs from the
sky; she does not wear an exaggerated
bang when the bang is in vogue, nor
the biggest hustle in town, nor the
greatest train to her tea-gown, nor the
greatest numberof bangles when ban
giles reign. But because she does not
chatter and giggle and make herself
conspicuous in horse cars or at manti-
nees, does not announce her convic-
tions on all occasions and all subjects,
and profess her admiration at every
hands turn, it must not be supposed
that she has no ideas or convictions or
enthusiasms; that she moves along like
star in the heavens, which obeys the
laws ofgravitation without selecting its
course or objecting to its orbit. She is
quiet because she has no power to make
herself heard, to change her conditions,
or because she is maturing that power.
In the meanwhile it is the quiet girl
who marries earliest, who makes the
best match, who fills the inches which
her more brilliant sister leave vacant,
who manages the servants, runs the
sewing machine, remembers the birth
days, listens to the "reminiscences of the
old and often keeps the wolf from the
door Hdqper's BdzGr.

A VENoMoUs BATTLE.
A Centipede Kills a Tarantula, and
Then DevOurs a Mouse.


While unpacking box of bananas
this moraing at one Of the J-street
fruit stores, monster tarantula was
brought to light. Men who are re-
quired to handle this fruit are very
cautious with it, as it is generally alive
with poisonous creatures which find a
snug berth in the bunch. One of the
large clusters panned out pretty we'll
this morning, the man discovering, be-
sides the deadly tarantula, still more
dangerous reptile-a centipede six
inches in length,
When the two creatures were found
they were placed together in a large
fruit-jar to see what kind of stuff they
were made of. Both were gamy, and
the fun commenced Immediately
They rushed at each other like fighting
bull dogs, and had genuine catch-as-
catch-c&a tussle. Their legs flew
around like the paddles of a windmill,
first one on top and then the other.
The tarantula would grab hold of his
foe and drag him about the jar until,
apparently, he was exhausted, when
his hold would be relaxed, when the
centipede would try the same tactics
Finally, however, the centipede evil
IDENTIFY grew tired of the rough-and-
tumble fight, when it drew back
raised its head and made a sudden
plunge upon the tarantula. 1t was a
fatal jump and the centipede crawled
off tc one side, victorious.
Then mouse was thrown into the
jar. The luckless little rodent had no
sooner touched the bottom than he was
goner. The ire of the centipede was
evidently aroused, and it grabbed the
mouse by the back with its claws and
then took hold with its mouth. In
stantly the mouse rolled over, dead,
and the centipede proceeded to feed
upon 1t.
